Hello! Instead of flour could I use arrowroot as a thickner? Do you know the equivalence of arrowroot that I would subsitute for flour?
to me, this isn’t thick enough to be called stew. it really reminds me of my standard veggie soup, which is good and tastes much like this. of course, i could add more thickening to stew it up, but i think i might prefer to add some sweet potatoes and leave out the corn and peas (which is think is also making think vegetable soup).
I searched crock pot beef stew recipes this morning, and I had most of the ingredients for this one, so I made it. I am so glad! It is soooo yummy and has great flavor, even without the worcestershire sauce (couldn’t get it opened!) or corn. My 14 year old scarfed some down before I added the flour and deemed it delicious! Thank you!
I’m not a good cook (at all) but this looked like something I could put together. It was delicious. Definitely the best stew I ever made. Made it exactly as the recipe was written. I was so proud of myself. Thank you!
I have this going in the crock pot right now! Actually, this is the first thing I’ve ever made in a crock pot. I subbed the beef for venison, since boyfriend is a hunter and we apparently need a freezer full of venison. I also only added a stalk of celery as a personal preference since I despise it..a lot. I understand that it goes into almost every stew ever, so I cut it in to big enough chunks so I can fish it out later. I did add like, a shake of red pepper flakes and also, maybe 1/2 cup of red wine(I didn’t really measure it…it was left over from the other night.) It’s still cooking, so I can’t comment on how it tastes, but the entire house smells amazing right now.
